In August of 2008, Trustees approved an engineering services agreement with Greeley and Hanson for the design of the E. 76th Street North Sanitary Sewer Interceptor in the amount of $358,000. The proposed 76th Street Interceptor would be a gravity sewer line extending east from a connection to the Elm Creek Interceptor (west of the 76th Street North/145th East Avenue intersection) a distance of 5.5 miles to approximately 193rd East Avenue. In January of 2009, the Owasso City Council approved Ordinance No. 935, establishing the E. 76th Street North Sanitary Sewer Interceptor Assessment Area and establishing a mandatory per - acre fee for connecting to the interceptor, such per acre fee to be set by a resolution of the Owasso Public Works Authority upon completion of the construction project. In all, some 4,708 gross acres are within the drainage basin; 3,136 net acres are available for development and 707 net acres previously developed would have access to the proposed sanitary sewer interceptor. The construction cost is estimated to be $5,500,000 which includes the 10% contingency allowance required by the OWRB. The estimated cost for legal, administrative, and right of way acquisition is estimated to be $467,000; for a total project cost of $6,325,000. ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION DOCUMENT: The project will be funded by the OWRB Clean Water State Revolving Fund. As required by OWRB, an Environmental Information Document was prepared by the consultants (Greely and Hansen) to summarize any potential environmental impact which may be caused by the construction of improvements. The planning document (dated February 2009) concluded that the project will cause no significant environmental issues. Environmental Information Document East 76 Street North Sanitary Sewer Interceptor Page 2 of 2 In compliance with OWRB requirements, a Notice of Public Hearing was published in the Owasso Reporter on January 27, 2009. Since that date, a copy of the Engineering Report and Environmental Information Document has been on file and available for public inspection at the City of Owasso Public Works Department, 301 West 2nd Avenue, Owasso, Oklahoma. The Public Hearing was held on March 3, 2009, in order to receive citizen comments regarding the Environmental Information Document, to include any alternative projects evaluated, environmental impact, and financing of the project. At the public hearing, ten citizens addressed the Authority with questions and comments regarding the project, however, there were no comments specific to any concern of detrimental impact on the environment as a result of constructing the improvements. No changes were made to the Environmental Information Document and its finding of no significant environmental impact as a result of the public hearing. RECOMMENDATIONS: Based on the engineer's finding of no significant environmental impact and lack of public comment regarding environmental issues relating to the improvements, staff recommends Trustee approval of Resolution No. 2009 -04 adopting the Environmental Information Document for the proposed East 76th Street North Sanitary Sewer Interceptor as set forth in the OWRB Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) Project No. ORF -09- 0007 -CW and certifying that a public hearing was held on March 3, 2009 in conformance with the Open Meeting Act and Notice of Public Hearing attached hereto and published in the Owasso Reporter on the 27th day of January, 2009.
